    Back from the dead!

    I really was ready to put a fork in this game, but I'm such a tool. New update and I'm back ready to check it out. Haven't downloaded yet, but a new post from Unstablefan is all i need. I just beat xcom so this is good timing. Maxed in money and 1600u stocked up. I stop playing a couple of months ago. I'm glad I didn't talk smack, cuz I'm so hype!!!! Looking forward to checking on this forum again to.

    Uh, Ivan....

    I'm filing this under hopefully a bug, but after a bit of play I had a crash and then my IAPs all downgraded. Help?

    Edit: Attempting to use restore purchases but iTunes is being a pain. More info soon.'

    Edit: Seems to have worked! Disregard!

    Just updated, had to restore my purchases for some reason though.

    Also, FB integration has a bit of an issue if you use the FB Code Generator as it means leaving the app to get the login code from the FB app but when you return to Pixel People you have to log in to FB afresh.... I got round this by switching FB to use an SMS code instead.

    Finally, on my iOS7 device I can't visit FB friends, every time I press the Visit button the app crashes. My iOS6 iPad is at home so can't check on that yet!

    Omg, what happened? I don't know if the problem is just with me, but after I clicked "sign in" in the new building, my town just vanished! Now every time that I start the game, it goes to a new, basic town, like playing for the first time... How can I fix that? I want my old, beautiful, full with things town back. :(

    Do you mean a basic town was there, or was there just nothing? I had nothing and hit back to origin and it fixed it.

    Thanks for a quick response! I mean a basic town was there with "Good morning mayor. You made it to Utopia!"... And I don't see anywhere an "back to origin" option. :/

    Greetings Mayors,

    Please remain calm at this time of great change to the space time continuum. It is regrettable that playing with the fabric of the universe has caused some mishaps. We are working to restore the balance to the cosmos at this very moment and will be doing whatever we can to restore any towns lost to the frightening void.

    Please contact [email protected] should you be experiencing any such displacements and we will respond to you personally as soon as we have relocated your precious town.

    Warm Regards

    Miss. Singh
    Utopia Corp. Displacement Counselling Unit

    iCloud

    Does anyone know how iCloud is working? Can we play on multiple devices?

    Actual bug report:

    I just had to restore purchases AGAIN. Perhaps it's bugged because the cost of purchases has been increased?

    Nope, we just found the issue related to that. Fixed and will be updated.

    As for price increase, we have plans down the road for the non-consumables that justify it.

    The multiple device sync is done via Facebook connection. You have to log into the prompt to sync your devices using Facebook first.

    Yes. I'd also like to take this time to emphasize the following:

    1) We've extensively tested the app over the last month or so with zero lost city cases. But we are getting reports of lost cities. So be aware of this.

    2) Even in the case of lost cities, I'd like to confirm with everyone that the game comes with a hidden backup function that prevents cities from being wiped-out. IF you are one of the few that loses your progress, do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected]. DO NOT DELETE YOUR GAME. Again I repeat:

    DO NOT DELETE YOUR GAME


    And yes, with the facebook sign in, you can play from anywhere and any device.

    Why do I NEED Facebook for most of the new stuff like trading and traveling?
    And why ONLY Facebook?

    I want to play the FULL game with ALL options without the need to subscribe to the privacy-eating-monster!

    The reason they used Facebook was because they don't have the time nor resources to build their own "friend's list manager", as such they decided to use Facebook to help them managed that.

    ;)
